" 'Fox News is now giving a nightly platform to white supremacist rhetoric. It’s dangerous. Advertisers should not be underwriting hate speech," the Minnesota Democrat said Wednesday on Twitter. . . .
"Carlson said on his show Tuesday that America should "be grateful for Ilhan Omar" because she has demonstrated the flaws of the country's immigration system.
"The host pointed to a Washington Post piece where Omar slammed America as a "country that had failed" to live up to its promise.
" 'In Omar’s version, America wasn’t the bighearted country that saved her from a brutal war and a bleak refugee camp. It wasn’t a meritocracy that helped her attend college or vaulted her into Congress. Instead, it was the country that had failed to live up to its founding ideals, a place that had disappointed her and so many immigrants, refugees and minorities like her," the piece stated.
"Omar said that she felt it was up to her to "speak" about the country not guaranteeing justice to all.
"In 2017, Omar wrote a piece for Time in which she claimed America was " founded on genocide.' . . ."
